Case studies

Real matters, with client names and amounts removed where naming them would identify someone. The work is described as it happened.

  1. Asset recovery

    Cross-chain theft recovery

    A fund lost treasury assets in a hack that crossed three blockchains. We traced where the value went, found the exchanges still holding it, and supported court orders that froze and later recovered a substantial part.

  2. Investigation and litigation

    DeFi protocol dispute

    A protocol contributor was accused of steering a vote and shipping an upgrade that favored one trading firm. We reviewed the blockchain record and the messages, then settled the claim on confidential terms.

  3. Regulatory defense

    Exchange investigation defense

    An exchange faced overlapping questions about how it listed assets, a sanctions-screening miss, and customer tracing. We ran the response and the internal review. The matter closed with no enforcement case.
